Bloomberg: What Quantum Computing Can Do for You

Bloomberg Businessweek speaks with Brad Pietras, Lockheed’s vice president in charge of technology, about quantum computing’s value to his business and its future.

This is relevant in the area of drug discovery, cybersecurity, business, finance, investment, health care, logistics, and planning. There are a number of business applications—those that involve solving complex optimization problems—that today would be too difficult to address with silicon computing.
